Asphalt 8: Airborne features eight seasons and 180 events in the Career mode, new Infected and Drift Gate modes, and a detailed damage system. It also boasts impressive new visuals enhanced by next-generation shaders, real-time geometry reflection, and other cool effects.

The game also showcases new cars from top licensed manufacturers, including Lamborghini Veneno, Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari FXX, and Pagani Zonda R. As well, it lets you race through new exotic locations, including Venice, French Guiana, Iceland, and the Nevada Desert.

Now, however, Gameloft has announced: “Escape gravity for FREE: THIS WEEKEND ONLY.” Indeed, iDevice users can now download the application at no cost.
